    What is taurine?

    Taurine is a naturally occurring amino-sulfonic acid found in the human body. It is present in high concentrations in tissues such as the heart, brain, muscles, and eyes. It is also found in foods such as fish and meat.

    Taurine is not used to build protein in the way typical amino acids are. It is involved in several well-known physiological processes, including bile salt formation and cellular mineral balance.


    What does taurine do in the body?

    • Cellular balance: involved in cell hydration and mineral movement (for example, calcium and sodium) at a cellular level.
    • Nervous system presence: found in the brain and nervous system and involved in neurotransmission processes.
    • Muscle tissue presence: present in skeletal muscle and involved in normal muscle cell processes.
    • Bile salt formation: required for making bile salts, which are essential for digestion of dietary fats.

    These are biological functions described in nutrition science. They are not claims to prevent, treat, or cure any disease.
